      The Norse and Gaelic used breathing as well. The West has had these for thousands of years too. Norse with Galdr, Gaelic used rosc poems and singing. Shamanism in the West is the same as in the East. Same principles.

    1) Natural breathing.
    2) Baby breathing.
    3) Reverse breathing.
    a) Water channel
    b) Fire channel
    c) Wind channel
    1) Small Circulation
    2) Grand Circulation
    The nose filters out the air, and contains endocrine glands that release nitric oxide, a vasodilator. Doing the belly breathing the diaphramatic wall massages the hollow organs. Removing waste and bringing oxygen enriched blood through the organs.
    All the best.

    These techniques should be taught in all schools and should be compulsory to have short breathing/mindfulness sessions throughout the working day, to help the children's learning and mental state. I think it would desolve ego and help kids connect better and have more compassion for eachother.

    I was in England some years ago, in march. I spent three days wandering the forest, sleeping in a hammock. The nights were really cold, and my sleepingbag was not warm enough. Each night I would wake up to do Wim Hof breathing. On the first night I had tied my hammock wrongly, so the rain were soaking me. I woke up being wet and cold, and the only thing I could really do was breathe. That was some powerful breathing that sent me straight from being awake into a dream. I woke up through the night and did the breathing. And then as I woke up in the morning, I was dry, my sleepingbag was dry, my hammock was dry. And it wasn't warm outside. That was really cool!

You’re entertaining, your audio is amazing and the content is inspiring. Thank you for taking time to share what you’ve learned. It’s changing my life for the better. I’ll be using more of these breathing techniques for myself and with my clients.

    Hi George, I just want to express my gratitude for all the beautiful and hard work you put into these video lessons. You explain things so well in a clear and understandable way. I’m pretty new to Taoism but your videos help me a lot in understanding and exploring this ancient wisdom. And I can say, it is really changing my life for the better. Also love your ‘move and meditate with George’ sessions as I had an interest in starting a Qigong practice but didn’t know where to start. The five animal Qigong you are teaching at the moment is a good entry point for me which I enjoy very much. Thanks and best wishes to you from Holland!

    Thank you very much! *The Way of Knowledge is being given through secret and mysterious means to individuals everywhere, in all races, cultures and worlds.* This represents the work of the Divine. Beyond the tribal interpretations of any young race in any world, this represents *pure Knowledge and pure spirituality.* It is unalloyed with the traditions of any world to which it is sent. Thus, it represents a real challenge in learning and a great opportunity for true understanding and greater ability.

    Thank you so much for this ,breath is so often forgotten. Great quotes too. So important to remember to use the belly and allow the breath to expand all of the rib cage , and use all the intercostal muscles, also the lungs go right up to just under the collar bone. So important for us all but particularly those with lung challenges. Nose breathing So important too. Great research and resource for us all . Many thanks 😊
